"Non relinquet Domi nus virgam peccatorum super sortem justorum : ut non ex tendant justi ad iniquitatem manus suns." Like the pro cession of saints in that touching frieze in the Church of St Vincent de Paul left us by Hippolyte Flandrin, the most Christian artist of the day, and the one whose loss is most to be deplored, the army of martyrs is on its march. Calm, sad, resolute, inaccessible to fear, fatigue, or discouragement with every heart turned towards heaven, that army will not halt until it shall have reached its journey's end, when it will sink to rest in the arms of Jesus Christ the Mighty One, the Father and the God of that justice and of that mercy which he owes to down-trodden yet invincible Polsnd. who seriously disapprove of the conduct of the Go vernment, as well as of the language of the pub lished correspondence. Lord Grey would have declared war against Austria and Prussia as soon as they crossed the Eider. But Mr. Disraeli, agreeing in this matter with the great majority in both Houses of Parliament, would, in substance, have done what the Government has done; and it he had been in office he would have become un popular when he failed to prevent the occurrence of vexatious events. The restoration of pe .cc en tolerable conditions might possibly tend to re establish the credit of the present. Ministry ; but a fresh outbreak of war would proluce animired debates, and the result would perhaps depend rather on feeling than on argument. If Air. Dis raeli is forced to construct, for controversial pur poses, an alternative policy which might hypo thetically have been adopted, he must go back to the French Emperor's proposal of a Congress, and condemn the refusal of the offer. Parliament, however, views with jealousy any display of deference to France, and no party seriously believes that the Congress could have settled the Danish quarrel. The vindication of the Government consists in the certainty that friendly counsels were useless, and in the well-founded opinion that the country, if it could have been consulted, would have summarily rejected any project of active interference. It is possible, however, that the House of Commons may vent its displeasure_on the Government, were it only for the same reasons which induce an uneasy sleeper to turn over on the other side. As long as the cause of disturbance remains there is little hope of comfortable repose, out a change brings a kind of tempor..ry novelty. R E NEW CLUB, C lIAIRMAN. The Right, Ron. Lord Muskerry.

When in the street or on the high road a cry of distress is heard from some passer-by who is attacked or murdered, what are we to think of those honest folk who, instead of running to the victim's aid, only think of shutting themselves up in their houses, and peep from behind the half-closed shutters to see from afar how the crime is perpetrated ? Yet this is what has been taking place in France, in Europe, during the last 18 months, with this difference that, instead of a ship, it is a whole nation that is being engulphed In a sea of blood, and that it is not in the night, not in the midst of a tempest, nor in the depths of a forest, that the catastrophe is happening, but in a dead calm. It is not a lonely tra veller, nor a caravan of travellers—but a nation, a great Christian nation, which is hemmed in, seized, garotted, despoiled, outraged. and assassinated before our eyes. Eighteen months ago this nation, which a century of un • heard of wrongs and skilftilly planned oppression could nei ther subdue nor exhaust, fell into the pit which her execu tioners had dug for her. One mighty cry she uttered:to remind the world that she had been buried alive, and did not wish to die. Then disarmed, alone, desperate,with the boldness of despair, she engaged in the struggle which still continues. The victim has exhausted every appeal for human aid. She has invoked one by one, with the most solemn adjurations, civilieatlon, humanity, the law of nations, modern right, modern ideas, liberty, progress, honour, gratitude, pity, public conscience. She has obtained nothing ; no response has been made to this heart-rending appeal. Modern civi lisation so proud of its progr ess , o f it s un i versal empire, of its marvellous inventions, its popular wonders, has remained dumb and powerless before the monstrous spectacle exhi bited at its very door of the dispossession, mutilation, and butchery of a nation effected, on a system of deliberate hatred in the middle of the 19th century. Civilisation has owned itself conquered by barbarism. Even in that country where liberty flourishes the best, she has done nothing, has availed nothing, has attempted nothing to save a people, one of the first among modern races, whose liberty dates as far back as that of any, and who asks of God and man but the simplest, the most elementary kind tif liberty, liberty to live. Modern. eight, so continually invoked In some countries, so strangely interpreted and so audaciously applied in others; this right w.hich, if we are to believe its noisiest advocates, authorises a people to get rid of Kings whom it dislikes, without a cause, as in Greece, or for chi merical reasons, as in Naples —thi s new -f angled right allows an empire more than half Asiatic to deny and to violate with impunity every ancient right in the case of an European and Christian people, which has fallen a prey to the spoiler after one thousand years of national indepen dence. Humanity proves as helpless as liberty I Neither philanthropy nor the increased gentleness of o ur manners (which:we may so fairly boast of) and of our penal laws, nor that sentimental compassion which is daily called forth by publicity, and expended on real or imaginary mis fortunes, has been of any avail against what seemed too horrible to be aught but a nightmare, yet has proved a fearful reality—a vampire sucking the life -blood of a weeping victim. Public conscience, too, pity, and gratitude have been forgetful and silent. In vain did Poland display before our eyes the remembrance of her services and of her claims, the sight of her wounds and her pangj, she who has been for so many ages the blood.•stained bulwark of Europe, the indefatigable ally of France. Nothing has been of any use. Nothing has been able to overcome the inattention, the shameful unconcern, the sluggish indifference, and ob stinate improvidence of contemporary Europe, She does nos even wish to hear more of the worn-out, interdicted subject, she wished to forget it, to drive it from her thoughts, to avert from it her eyes, which are weary in the pursuit of gain and pleasure. The question is cut short, the Times has recalled its correspondents ; the curtain has drOpped• Let us change the subject. The most compassionate, the most generous do as Agar did, who withdrew weeping that she might not witness the agony of her son dying with thirst in the desert. "Et abiic quantum protest arcus jecere ; d se ix d i i t tq e u n e im e : r N eg on ion v o ide pse b r c : m u o l rientern poem m." But In I from the midst of thi s frigid silence, of this uni versal indifference, one voice, and one alone, is lifted up in answer to the cry of Poland in her agony. It is the voice of religion, a voice plaintive, in:lig spoken, who is in the eyes of a l l, whether friends or foes, /sant, immortal, He has whether believers or unbelievers, the highest peesonification of religion in the world. The Vicar of Jesus Christ, the Son, who died for men upon th e Cross, has spoken in behalf of the sacrified nation. An has burst in waves hurrying a eal which is eloquence itself end breakin g one u po n a no ther, 'V from the depth of that noble heart, the heart of Pius IX., the man and the Pontiff, whcse indignation and piety have overflowed together. His is no bed of roses who makes it his business to plead for the Catholic cause at the present day. He must be resigned to sadness of every kind, he must expect not only outrages and contempt from without, but wretchedness and darkness from within " foris pugnas intus timores." We are all called u rnth great and small, to , both endure the disappointments , talk. es, the defections, the depression, the melancholy discorafiteres which are equally the lot of the most humble soldier and of the most august representative of truth. But on the other hand, when ever and anon truth and justice blaze forth, as lightning does in the darkness of night, borrowing the supernatural strength and authority of religion, what joy beyond com pare is kindled in the soul of the true believer, into what transports of gratitude de Christians break forth! New Italy, or, to speak more correctly, Pi edmont, aggrandised by proceedings which bear too close an analogy to those of the spoilers of Poland, barely tries to feign or to a ff e ct a cold and wordy sympathy for the great victim of that spirit of usurpation of conquest of which the Piedmontese king dom has become the most guilty personification in Europe. At heart, and in truth, all its sympathies are on the side of Russia, who quickly recognised in the Italy of Victor Emmanuel the ally and imitator of her wicked and plunder ing policy, and they who are best informed upon the sub ject see in the Roman question the point of unity between St. Petersburg and Turin, The self .styled Liberal Govern ment which has stolen the secular patrimony of the Pope, which day by day is throwing bishops and cardinals into prison, which is suppressing religious order in order to con fiscate their patrimonies and to profane their sanctuaries, cannot possibly assist or love, or even understand Poland : Garibaldi, who has just displayed at London a certain sym pathy with the Polish cause, was acting much more in cha racter and according to his nature, when he wrote in his address to the Poles on the 28th December, 1863—" Cease to give to your heroic struggle a religious character ; it is depriving you of sympathy, and provoking a fierce reac tion against you." It is the weakest, the worst armed of European Sovereigns who alone has done his duty, who alone has fulfill e d th e expectations of generous erohuisa most hettr feeble among m alistoenng Sovereigns edtothev is theoiceofj head o e and of four religion, the father of pity This our souls I It is he who is affording us at this moment the sublime and comforting sight of a protest by the weak against the mighty, by justice against iniquity, by truth against falsehood. By thus pleading for Poland Pius IX. has, without perhaps intending or thinking of it, laid before the world the strongest argument in favour of the temporal power of the Papacy. Never has it been more clearly proved that sovereignty is necessary for its perfect independence. In what other way I should like to know can his authority be rendered free and supreme as it must be before us, as it must be in the interest of that justice and truth of which he is our impersonifieation ? Can you imagine a Pope a,subject or a paid vassal of the King of Italy; can you imagine him making use of this spirited and generous language in pre sence of a master who is the ally or the accomplice of the oppressor who is to be denounced, of the traitor who is to be unveilled. * * I believe 1 may laitly say, sincerely and calmly, that on the 24th of last April Pope Pius IX. wrote one of the most beautiful pages in the glorious history of the Vicar of Jesus Christ. As a Catholic and as a man I humbly think him for having paid this beeves to our faith and to his own divine authority. I thank him tor having shown a heart full of courage and of pity—of what, in other words, the kings, and to speak plainly the men of our time, are most wanting in. They are not malicious, or at least not so bad as they are sometimes represented to be; but they have neither couragetsgainst the odious triumphs of evil, nor pity for their victims. Pius IX. follows the glorious footsteps of that great man, Pope Clement X 111., who in the 18:h cen- tury was the only potentate in Europe who protested against the despoilers of Poland, while Voltaire, we cannot too often repeat it, encouraged and flattered there with all the refine , ments of a base adulation, and all the paroxysms of impla cable rage against the Catholic nation, which it was their object to blot out from the land of the living. Pope Pius IX. renews. besides, and confirms the noble attitude of Gregory X VI., the first among the sovereigns of the 19th century who knew how to make head against the Emperor Nicholas, and the only one who reminded him, P IX, is, in fact, only by his Allocution in 1842, and i n a memora bl e interview of his duty towards the P o l e s.—_pins per severing in the cours e on which he entered long ago, the glorious stages of . whi c h h e has already marked out in his Allocution of the - 6th of March, 1863, relating to the pre conisation of Poliah Bishops ; in his letter of the 22 d of April, 1863, to Alexand er t h e 2d; and, lastly, in his pre cepts relating to the pr ocession of the 31st of August, in behalf of unhappy Poland. History will, to the latest ge nerations, recur with e mo ti on to these noble efforts of the greatest moral power under the sun. No sophistry, no falsehood, no ingratitude will succeed in obliterating from the memory of man this striking contract between !the in trepid ad enduring s Y m Pathy of th e Popes for an op pressed t t le indifference nation, and the desertio n , th e shame f u l or th e h os • e which she has ap e n o a p t national a t a h l a thPower, or in va d e d a neighbouring met with at the hands of the p hil oso phers of the 18th century, an d the politicians of as the 19th. * * * Pol an d has never subverted a le gitimate cou ntry. She stands, perh a p s, alone in the history of the er e ld as nor never made an attempt against the person of a kin g . At the very t i me w h en F rance was a ll ow i n g the greet revolution o f 1 7 89 to end in the Re i gn o f Terror, Poland by v irtue of its c onst i u ti on o f tt e 3d o f May, 1791, was anticipatin g , or was actually attaining by t h e es tablishment of a heredit a ry and iparl i amen t ary mo narchy, the resu lts whic h had been arri ve d at by the pain e ful experience of the most enlightened nations. It is not the creation or recognition of a new nat i ona lity in Poland, but it is one of the oldest and most indelible nationalities of Europe that is in question, one that has never ceased to exist de facto or de jure, and that demands the restoration of her confiscated independence with invincible deter mination. As for religion I On this subject the Pope, who is the head and the su p re me judge of the religious of Catholic Christendom, is at once the most interests and irrefutable witness. It is known that he has competent rece ived from the m ost authentic sources a mass of particle lars which are of most grave and serious import, showing that a plan f or d ec atholicisieg Poland h as b een f o ll owe d f or Hence this cry from the inmost depths of a length of time. and - his soul, which has moved astounded Europe.

Some cases of small pox had occurred on board both vessels, but none in either instance had proved fatal, and all were reparted as improv ing. Those on board the Duncan were removed to the Naval Hospital shortly after their arrival, but no commu nication was permitted between the hospital and the Royalist. On the 14th ult. a naval court martial assembled on board the Royalist for the trial on the charge of insubor dination of Mr Roberts, Mr Filmer, and Mr Hobson, three young officers of that vessel. The members of court martial were Capt. Lambert, President, Capt. Kitson, Corn. J. D'Arcy, Corn. J. Shears. Capt. Pollard prosecuted. The charge of insubordination having been substantiated, Mr Roberts and Mr Hobson were sentenced to two years' im prisonment each, and 90 days in each year to solitary con finement, and Mr Filmer to one year's imprisonment, and all three to be dismissed the service with disgrace. They remained in the Gfeneral Penitentiary at Kingston, awaiting the sailing of the vessel which is to convey them home, where they will undergo their respective sentences. The Cygnet was also at Jamaica. The Pylades and Greyhound were at Barbadoes on the 21st ult. The Chameleon, Capt. Jones, left Vancouver's Island in the latter part of April for the Mexican coast, and was to proceed thence to Pa nama to relieve the Devastation, Capt. Pike. The Tribune, Capt. Lord Gifford, which left Panama on the 25th of February, and sailed the whole way, arrived at Esquimalt about the middle of April. The flagship Sutlej, which sailed from Callao in Jan., was expected there daily, after a cruise round the Polynesian Islands. The Edinburgh, 60, 200 horse power, Capt. C. F. Schom berg, late Coastguard ship at Queensferry, Leith, has re turned her guns, shot, shell, and other War Department stores into the Ordnance stores at Chatham, and is now being dismantled preparatory to being placed in the Medway Steam Reserve. This fine vessel will, it is understood, be sold out of the navy, as although she is perfectly sound, she is not altogether adapted for the, present requirements of the service. The Edinburgh is relieved at Leith by the Trafalgar, 70, 500 horse power. The following appointments were made on Saturday at the Admiralty :—Lieut. Wee. H. Heaton to the Implacable —.Lieut. J. M.

Some dismounted men of the 16th Lancers are expected at Colchester to-morrow, and will take possession of the new cavalry barracks ; the remainder of the regiment will arrive on Saturday. The head-quarters of the regiment will be stationed at Colchester, and detachments of two troops each will be sent to Ipswich and Norwich until the completion of the new Colchester barracks. In accordance with instructions received from the War-office a board of officers under the presidency of Col. Farren, C. 8., 4th depot battalion, has assembled at Colchester camp to select a site for the erection of quarters for married soldiers. As a large number of men who enlisted at the commencement of the Crimean war for 10 years' service have been recently dis charged, recruiting has been commenced at the camp at Colchester as well as at other stations. Ministerial Shuffling about Denmark, (From the Saturday Review.) The English Government has been greatly weakened by its share in the Danish transactions, and perhaps the country has, for the time, lost credit and popularity in Europe. Hereafter, when the history of the negotiations is dispas sionately reviewed, the charges against English policy will reduce themselves to a certain number of errors of taste or style in the language of the Foreign Minister's despatches, and in one or two of Lord Palmerston's speeches. The Danes would have refused compliance with the German demands even if they had received no encouragement from England; and, on the other hand, the con cessions waich they are supposed to have made under English influence were dictated by the plainest considerations of prudence. As they would have been wiser if they had evacuated Schleswig without fighting, it is idle to complain that they were prevented from defending Holstein. Although the season which is most favourable for naval operations may be wasting away during the suspension of hostilities, the re-establishment of the blockade of certain ports and the capture of a few German merchantmen would be expensive advan tages. It Austria and Prussia find themselves un able to resist the Danes at sea, they will merely tighten their pressure on the land which they occupy or overrun. Sooner or later compensation will be exacted for every maritime capture and for every commercial loss which may result from the closing of German ports. The weaker belligerent derives no real profit from any isolated advantage which he may obtain, for the war must at some time be terminated by a pacification in which the conqueror will dictate the the adviser The first recom mends is . mends early submission is always exposed to misin terpretation and odium. No great sagacity is re quired to foresee that, if a three months' war released Austria and Prussia from their obligations under the treaty, the expenditure of a few more millions of dollars, and of some thousands of lives, would be urged as a reason for extorting an addi tional equivalent in territory. The Danes complain with justice that the hostile occupation of Sehi es wig enables the enemy to influence the feelings or the language of the population, but the rupture of the armistice will have no tendency to expel the Prussians from the peninsula, and it will enable them once more to impose contributions on the un fortunate inhabitants of Jutland, If the conference breaks up without accomplish ing its purpose, both Germany and Denmark will perhaps find a certain satisfaction in the formid able onslaught to which the English Government will be exposed. Lord Russell may, in a certain sense, fairly claim the negative merit which he once attributed to Lord Palmerston, of not being the Minister or the favourite of any foreign coup. try. In the present dispute he has bitterly offended t h b whole German nation, and he has disappointed the sa.' a dazes members of the House of guine confidence o f th e Danes. There are, perhaps, . eers, Commons ? ausd a somewhat larger number of P SPORTING NOTES. The Ascot Meeting, in point of the number of races and the attendance of fashionable visitors, was the most success ful ever held—the only mar to its brilliancy being the unfortunate railway accident at Egham. No doubt the terrible calamity will be found to have arisen from some of the servants of the company having neglected to pay atten tion to the signals. For years the London and South- Western Railway Company have enjoyed the confidence of the public in safety of travelling and rapidity of transit, and it is impossible to suppose that on so important an occasion as the Ascot Meeting there could have been any relaxation on the part of the officials in providing for the safety of the many thousands who invariably avail themselves of the facilities offered by this company. On the Derby Day they conveyed on their line nearly 100,000 passengers, all of whom arrived at Epsom without the slightest delay and with the most commendable punctuality, and this large number were also safely brought back to London in the evening. The first day's proceedings at Ascot opened with the Trial Stakes, and the dozen entered all put in an appear ance, among them Auditor, a very big, fine looking colt of Lord Westmoreland's, who, with the redoubtod Catch-'em- Alive, in addition to Man-at-Arms and The Gillie—William Day started the whole fleet—made a race of it, the young one winning cleverly by a length. The promenade before the Queen's Vase within the Royal inclosure is always a pretty sight, and the 12 competitors, as they passed in re view order, Sam Rogers on Sea King leading the van, with Claremont, Little Stag, Caller Ou, and Birch Broom follow ing in his wake, it seemed difficult to find the winner from a lot of such good looking ones. Soon after the flag fell Little Stag, always a puller, overpowered Carroll, and rush ing to the front made the running at such a pace that he was pumped before reaching the stand, leaving Fairwater with the lead, which the old mare had soon to resign to Young Rapid, who rather unexpectedly landed the trophy for Mr Craven by a length. The Gold Vase is of course nothing of the sort, but a handsome centre piece of silver— the subject, "Neptune creating the horse," and comes from the atelier of the Garrards'. The Maiden Plate, for which Bitch Broom made his debut last year, brought together the usual large field, and was chiefly remarkable for a fine piece of riding on the part of Custance, and for the unlucky Shrapnell again running second for the third or fourth time, use forget which. The Couut's colt appeared last at the stand; but his energetic jockey called ou him, and by dint ot riding and his own gaimuess, !ling :.;Larming got his neck in front of Shrapnell at the finish. There was nothing very particular about the winner, Audax (a cult of Captain Gray's, who has born backed for the Derby) being about the best-looking of the lot. The Stand Plate was won by Le Bearnais (a promising yuung one from the French stable), defeating all the top weights easily. The Ascot Stakes for the last two or three years has been a b race in every respect—a bad acceptance, and a bad betting one, and this occasion was no exception to the rule. The lot was an indifferent one, and the little speculation there was had made Hippolyta the first favourite, a post which, though she was temporarily deposed, she held when th e flag fell, and justified her backers' confidence by winning in a canter, all the other pseudo-favourites being nowhere in the race. Baldwin broke down. It must be considered a bold measure of Count de Lagrange, his bringing Fille de l'Air over to run for the Prince of Wales's Stakes. It looks as if he was determined she should show what an uncertain lady she is ; but then there was every excuse for her here, as she must be stale from her recent running. Ely certainly surprised us by his easy win,and Knight of Snow den was never in the race, , ahich makes his Epsom " place" inexplicable. There was a rash to get on Lid dington for the Seventh Biennial, but only evens could be obtained. He won with nothing to spare, by a neck, and if we look at Gardevisure's position, who finished four lengths behind the second horee, we must consider him as a pretty good one, Not that it much matters if he is not, He will hold his own in the market, doubtless, seeing what stable he is in, and if he is beaten will probably become a warmer favourite than ever. The Ranger showed some old form in the Triennial by defeating Blue Mantle and King of the Vale cleverly. The Royal party took their departure eoon after the Biennial was decided, and were loudly cheered as they passed down the coarse. The racing on Wednesday was of the same abundant character as on Tuesday, and equally good in quality. Jessie defeated the favourites easily in the Visitors' Plate, but found an unexpected competitor in Oldminster, whom Aldcroft brought with such a rush in the last few strides, that the mare only landed by half a length. Of course Breeze carried off the Coronation Stakes as she liked ; and in the Ascot Derby, Peon, a great, ungainly-looking brute, managed to defeat the Calista colt—upon whom he waited to the stand, by a head. The Hunt Cup is of course the one great event of the Ascot Wednesday, and absorbs all the speculation going. There was the usual large field, 34 sporting silk for the trophy, which consists of a chased' silver tazza, surmounted by a group of stags, and has a very elegant and at the same time simple effect. The race was distinguished for the effect the hill seemed to have upon many of the horses, Amelia (despite her bottle of whisky), Saccharometer, Clairvoyants, Odine, and others, shutting up before they had gone half way up it, which left the Baron's snare apparently in possession of the field. Gem of the Sea, however, with Crisis, headed her at the enclosure, s tthewhich winner, led t o n o a n and the two raced hom e, both so much distreesed as to swerve against each other more than once, objection being made by Mr. Mary against the ground of foul riding on Grirash aw s part. The stewards, however, decided in favour of Mr. Longfield's horse. It was a surprise —but thin the Hunt Cup gene rally is : last year, by the Way, was an exception, when the favourite (Victor) won. There was nothing else in the race besides the above two, Evelina finishing a bad third, and a number pulled up and did not pass the post. Attraction showed her turn of speed for half a mile in the Fern Hill Stakes, which she carried off very easily. The Twelfth Triennial brought oat a very handsome Trumpeter in the Duke of Beaufort's Koenig, who came with such a private reputation in addition to his good looks that they laid 7 to 4 on him. Butt publics form" would not be denied, for Tennyson shook off his horses at the stand, and won very easily, Baragah and Hollyfox made a match ot it in the Sixth Biennial, the former winning cleverly, and set ting Mr. Valentine's mind at rest, we presume, as to which is the best of the two. On Thursday the Prince of Wales again honoured the meeting with hir presence. The 100 soya Plate brought a large field. La Mechante, the favou rite, did not show at all forwardly in the race, which was left to the three placed ; Lord Westmoreland's colt coming with a rush at the last, but failed to reach the leaders, Lemonade winning winning rather cleverly. Mr. Me l r i ry (, is certainly always fortunate in his two - yea r (Alt all through to have two woo will figure in through the year ; and rumour speaks of a of his that the b t e hi t rd g the Phemy colt, as being better than any th'einungial, Zambesi has been out yet. In the Second New 13 won very easily, Ko3nig alone near hitn.l l l e fine-look ing colt, and particularly pleased " the Wizard , who was sitting near us at the finish. Timaig again ran second. Knight of Snowden gave another proof of his roguery b y again cutting it when collared by Hark Forward in the 50 soya Sweepstakes, the latter being considered, very moderat e at home and his winn in g a surprise. The clouds had been threatening all the afternoon, and a smart shower fell about four o'clock, but it held up as the time for the Cup drew near, and the rest of the day was fine. Contrary to expec tations, n i n e were telegraphed for the event, M o ll y C arew (one of the uncoloured ones) being added to the list. The absentees were the Clown and Jack of Hearts. Here was the customary promenade in the !loyal enclosure, Sam Rogers on Lord Zetland leading the way in ; he looked a picture of condition, but rather too stale for the severe UB. , 4 455"5ak before him. Wingrave's chance many judges. earesr'Y sidered to be a grand one, but Gibraltar was in ratter • good company, and th e R a nger found no friends, The ler' 44 ese ss . e „,„,.,, and Lord Clifden were both splendid specimens, the latteK 171 coming up, as we before have had occaition,toobigerve, more to one's idea of a perfect gentleman than any horse we hare remembered of late years. Still he had the same Icok he bore at Newmarket, when be ran for the Claret—that of abave himself, and carried too much flesh to inspire any great degree of confidence. In fact, we suspect Little Stag car ried the money. The Chief did not condescend to make his bow to Royalty, but went quietly down to the post and took his canter. He moved, we thought, somewhat stiffly, as if he remembered his previous race, but he looked as well es horse could, and there was no superflw us flesh about kite. We were terribly behindhand as to time now, and there seemed no wish to make it better, for the jockeys dawdled about the course, and it was some time before Mr M‘Georee got them in order. This doze they were soon dispatched. Alabama took up the running with Wingrave and Little Stag in attendance, Lord Clifden again being the last off, some way in the rear Little Stag requires a man on him, not a boy ; he soon overpowered young G:imsbaw, and rushed to the front, making th-3 pace hot down the Swialcy bottom, the Leger victor still in the rear; in fact the latter was never in the race from the moment Lim fl -t.; fell. The Chief lay well with his horse;, a ,- .(1 corning r. und the turn into the straight wit - It up to L',t tie Stag, who was still lend ing, easily shook off his horses, end went a winner by Sortie half-dozen lengths. There was of course the usual cheer ing, but not the scene of excitement witnessed last year on the occasion of the ever-memorable dead heat. Still Mr Merry's success was hailed with general pleasure, and his absence through a domestic calamity generally deplored. The Grand Stand was not nearly half filled on Friday. The first race set for decision was a plate of 100 soya, which Stanton, under waiting orders, put to his owner's credit in an easy fashion, The First and Second-class Wokinghams are generally good handicaps. The first of them was pro ductive of a fine race between Durham and Olivia, the favourite Lobelia running jady; and the second Walloon carried off easily, nothing else being in the race—so the fielders began the day well. The interesting race of the day was the meeting of Ely and the Derby victor in the Eleventh Triennial, for which the former had slightly she call at the close. Blair Athol certainly looked rather jaded, and as if he did not half like his work; while Ely, with a- free bounding action, caused his backers to be rather confident. Ho cut it, though, when Custance called upon him, and Blair Athol won without being asked. He looked lighter than he did at Epsom, for which the work he has gone through lately is a sufficient reason. A great look both of sire and dam has the Derby hero, and he will in all probability grow into a magnificent animal. The new stake, the Alexandra Plate, was another great turn for the fielders, as Anglo-Saxon was overlooked by most of the clever ones—one noble lord alone being cute enough to back him for " a century" at 25 to 1. Crisis was greatly fancied by the public and she ran well, but Anglo-Saxon won in hollow style at last. Thera was an unusual large number of entries for the Queen's Plate, but the runners were reduced to three, Caller Ou, Gibral tar, and Guerilla. It was 6 to 4on the mare, but still many fancied that old Gibraltar could both outstay and outpace her. Custance acted up to this sug gestion and made strong running with Gib along the Swin.- ley bottom ; but Challoner brought the mare up soon after passing the road, and heading Gibraltar before they reached the stand, went in a very easy winner. Gibraltar pulled up very lame and seemed much distressed. The other two events were of minor importance. There are two meetings this week, namely, Newton-le- Willows and Hampton. For the Surrey and Middlesex Stakes either Alabama or Welcome should be kuccessful, and Fontenoy or Blithfield for the Newton Handicap. A FRESH MAN. Public Address to Mr. and Mrs. C. Kean. (From the Melbourne Argus of April 25.) An address from the citizens of Melbourne was presented to Mr. and Mrs. Charles Kean on Satur day. The presentation took place in the conucil chamber of the Town-hall, which was filled on the occasion with ladies and gentlemen. About half past one o'clock Mr. and Mrs. Kean entered the apartment, amid the applause of those assembled, and were escorted to the dais by the Mayor, Mr. J. T. Smith. The address was presented by the Mayor, who observed that he regarded the pleasing office as one of the most gratifying incidents of his mayoralty. As a native of Australia, and knowing little be yond it, he was proud to have the honour of pre senting, on the 300th natal day of England's wondrous damatist—oo a spot which, now the heart of a mighty city, was a quarter of a century ago primeval wilderness—a fitting compliment from hundreds of the. citizens of Melbourne to th:-, ablest of Shaksperc's interpreters. The Mayor then mid ih? address WS Mr end Mrs Charles Kean,—We are desirous bnfore your departure from Ibis colony to present a congratulatory address on the occasion of your visit to Australia, and we have sell e:ed the birthday of Shakspere es tie most appropriate opportunity for acknowleegir g the vast services 3ou have rendcrcd during your professional lists to the cause of Eng land's incomparable poet. Your visit, to Victoria will long be remembered by us as an important and gratifying event, from which we have derived great intellectual enjoyment, having witnessed during your stay amongst us some of the most wonderful creations of Shakspere. portrayed in a manner which only the highest order of theatrical art can attain. In your retirement from that pro fession in which you have so honourably won respect and admiration, you will leave names of historic celebrity to mark your brilliant career ; and amongst the many recollections which that career will bring to yoar minds, we indulge the hope that not the least agreeable will be the remem brance of that period when, little more than a quarter of a century after the first habitation was built in Melbourne, you trod the boards of a theatre amidst the restless activity of a population busy in laying the foundations of its social, political, and moral institutions. The stage, as you have occupied it, is a powerful engine for elevating the moral tone of a people, and we feel sure of your kindly Byrne pathy for all that may conduce to its future and permanent prosperity, here as well as in England, To both of you we present our warmest wishes for your success, and health, and happiness." Mr. KEAN replied in the following terms Mr Mayor, Ladies, and Gentlemen There is ;no honour that you could have conferred upon Mrs Kean and myself more gratifying to our feelings than thus to asso ciate our names with the commemoration of a day that in golden letters should be set among the high tides of the calendar.' Apart from my intense admiration for the genius of Shakspere, I have good cause to reverence the memory of the greatest of poets, whose fame is unapproachable and imperishable, for as a representative of his marvellous creations 1 have gained all I possess in the world. What ever fortune I have acquired has been won in his service, and if spared to fulfil ray intention, I shall be thereby enabled to leave my profession at an earlier period of life than any of my celebrated predecessors. While science reveals the wonders of the mate rial world—diving into the ocean, penetrating the earth and searing upward to 'the majestical roof fretted with golden fire,'—Shakspere has disclosed to our view the workings of the human heart, with all its changing Passions and humours, its joys and griefs, its strength and weak ness. Every spring of action, every impulse, every emotion, every sensation of feeling, was k n own to him. Whatever may be his blemishes, th e y are but as the spots upon th e bright and glorious sun, and do not dim its bistro. His greatness was his own—his faults were those of the age i n which he lived. (Applause.) The study of Shakspere is the study of philosophy and wisdom ; I rejoice, therefore, to hear of the scholarship abou t to be i nstituted in the Melbourne University ; s uch a measure cannot fail in due course of time to be of great public benefit, provided it be strictly and exclusively confined to the author whose name it bears, and in whose pages the princi student ples of knowlfind the rich es t materials of thought orandedge. (Appl ause.) "Ladiesi a d Gentlemen,—l beg y ou to accept our most d will heartfelt thanks for y our ki nd wishes •and andm me alsoc are massure publicyo u that life i we shall n our retirement remember fromwith cordial d " , h let t ri n de tnils gra tifying expression of y our good opinion, as conve yed ° i n t h e address with w hi c h you have this day honouredov The address and the bignatures (between 400 and 500 in number) Occupy revcrul sheets of velluw.

It has achieved the surest and most glorious triumph over bad legs, foul ulcerations, and knotted veins, which had confounded the faculty, and well nigh worn out their vic tims, It creates sound flesh, and therefore makes its cures complete. When this ointment is properly applied, and assisted by appropriate doses of the pills, the pain, in flammation, cad other morbid manifestations soon disap pear from the affeete 1 Part, and health and strength re turn.
